If you are new to an area, there is another tool you can use to gauge home values to possibly help narrow your search. You want to also feed the inner Capitalist or Investor in you and attempt to maximize your return. Trulia Heat Maps allow you to compare prices and popularity by neighborhood (in larger metro areas), city, county, and state. This can allow you to gauge market trends based on listing and sales prices. As you may know, the three “L’s” of real estate are “location, location, location,” this also may help you determine the most popular area for home buyers in a given market.
